Just a question about a filesupport.. MPlayer supports .bik (Bink) files, so mencoder would supposedly also support it, but it doesn't show up when I go to a folder which has some files in them.. Is there a way to get them to show up?

Yeah, I wanted to say this too! Being able to watch files with .ass subtitles in .mp4 containers without transcoding is definitely a long-awaited improvement! I didn't even request it since I didn't think that it could be done. Thank you so much ^_^

well all i can figure is there is nothing wrong with pms code which is a good thing, and it doesnt seem its anything u have done, it seems mencoder developers have done something because sb26,27,28 is all affected but everything sb25 and before works fine. hopefully it gets fixed along the line in time. im gonna just use sb25 for now since it plays everything flawlessly just be aware of the issue and i will continue to try new memcoder builds to see if it gets fixed and let u know. some mkv's are only affected (probably about 5% of what i have which isnt that many, mostly music videos or doco's) but it doesnt seem avi's are affected at all. as for the error msg below this was introduced in sb27 and doesnt do it in sb26 though sb26 still has the sync issue so i dont think its related unless they made the change in sb26 then started logging it in sb27.

Too many video packets in the buffer: (1052 in 33572624 bytes).Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

I have to agree with others that MEncoder builds after SB25 are all broken.SB25 is OK but others (26-28) stutter in video and audio is not synced for many MKV files what I have. It is because:

And this warning message is repeating with same freezes as transcoding continues which leads to choppy and unsynced video/audio.Only what I can see from MEncoder output what differ is):WORKING

I suppose MEncoder should be reverted for SB and official builds for now until it will be fixed to avoid complains that new PMS builds works badly(stuttering, out of sync etc.).Subjunk, hopefully you will find root cause Many thanks for looking into it!ExSportEDIT:To all who are affected, replace new MEncoder/MPlayer build (SB28) with SB25 which works without problems...until it will be fixed

why not simply use the Checkbox?

LOL. Well, I am. The deal is I use subtitles all the time. I have found that my mkvs go way out of sync unless the alt sync box is checked, but sometimes it seems that having alt sync checked may cause a tiny delay in avis or mp4s. So, I currently have the box checked and then put in an exception in the custom settings for avis and mp4s to turn it off. I was wondering if there was a command to turn it on, so I could turn it on only for mkvs (which I don't play as much compared to mp4s) and leave it unchecked (as I want it off more than on).

I have also noticed that using subs on mp4s and overscan compensation results in some serious stuttering as if your bandwidth was not enough, but I have a wired connection. I have tried oversan compensation on some files without subs, and I do not get this issue.
